Clinical study results
In clinical studies, the effect of cool down showed clear advantages over conventional cooling methods such as ice or coldpacks. The cooling strategy after surgical interventions can be optimized by improving the cooling process and favorably influencing rehabilitation.
Course of body temperature during cooling phases
The gentle cooling lowers the local temperature by approx. 7-10 °C. Unlike other cooling methods, the cooling effect lasts 2-3 hours. The natural cooling effect is usually found to be very comfortable by most people. Due to the gentle method, there is no risk of cold injuries.
Postoperative change in muscle cross section area (CSA)
After 30 days, the muscle cross-section is not significantly reduced with cool down. After 60 days, an increase in the muscle cross-section can already be seen with cool down. After 90 days, there is a statistically significant increase in the muscle cross-section. This can have a favorable influence on rehabilitation.
Reduced painkiller consumption
The gentle cooling lowers the local temperature by approx. 7-10 °C. Unlike other cooling methods, the cooling effect lasts 2-3 hours. The natural cooling effect is usually found to be very comfortable by most people. Due to the gentle method, there is no risk of cold injuries.
